Eddie Glaude on New Zealand: Trump’s Helped Create an Environment for This Sort of Carnage to Happen

EXCERPT:

GLAUDE: "I see a bungled reference to Star Trek and Spock, instead of live long and prosper, be strong and prosper. Terrible. What’s clear here is Donald Trump is trying to draw the circle around him to close — for the wagons to circle. And it has something to do with this sense that a particular understanding of the country that is represented in him is being attacked. And Fox News needs to get in line. And so part of what New Zealand represented and represents, right, is in some interesting sort of way in my view, a wholesale attack on what Donald Trump has enabled and his legions have enabled. I’m not trying to blame what happened in New Zealand on President Trump but he’s helped create an environment for this sort of carnage to happen. So to hear Fox News kind of back up a little bit in terms of its 'perceived' punishment of judge Jeanine is in some ways throwing him into the fire as it were."
